00:00:06
tonight on unsolved mysteries a bitterly
00:00:10
cold night an icy road
00:00:12
a young woman stranded in sub-zero
00:00:14
temperatures seven hours later she is
00:00:17
found literally frozen stiff with death
00:00:20
just a heartbeat away in desperation her
00:00:23
friends and family start a prayer chain
00:00:25
believing that only a miracle can save
00:00:27
her life in Florida two young hoodlums
00:00:31
embark on a night of terror a wild
00:00:34
rampage at ends and murder today one of
00:00:37
the men remains at large
00:00:38
have you seen Albert Leon Fletcher as a
00:00:43
rap supervisor at Northwest Airlines
00:00:45
Souter asked which was a rarity in a
00:00:47
world dominated by men for years she
00:00:50
reportedly endured an angry onslaught of
00:00:53
sexual harassment on the job
00:00:55
however sue refused to give in to the
00:00:57
alleged bigotry right up until the day
00:00:59
she was brutally murdered did you know
00:01:03
that Elvis Presley had a twin brother
00:01:05
who died at birth some believe this
00:01:08
little-known tragedy was both the
00:01:09
inspiration for Elvis Presley's
00:01:11
greatness and the haunting secret behind
00:01:14
his untimely death
00:01:16
join me for another intriguing edition
00:01:19
on Sol mysteries
00:01:27
[Music]
00:02:14
do you believe in miracles if you don't
00:02:17
maybe it's because you haven't yet heard
00:02:19
about Jeanne Hilliard and the night she
00:02:21
collapsed in the snow and froze almost
00:02:23
as solid as a block of ice for more than
00:02:26
six hours it was December 20th 1980 Jane
00:02:34
was 19 years old and driving to her home
00:02:36
outside a small town in northern
00:02:38
Minnesota
00:02:39
she chose a scenic route a country road
00:02:42
she had driven routinely a hundred times
00:02:44
before but tonight would be different
00:02:48
[Applause]
00:02:57
I tried to get it back on the road but
00:03:04
it just kept sliding further and further
00:03:05
in the ditch I did think of possibly
00:03:14
staying there for just a few seconds but
00:03:16
I was afraid of
00:03:17
maybe carbon monoxide poisoning somebody
00:03:21
coming along finding me alone or that I
00:03:23
would just sit there all night before
00:03:25
anybody came by
00:03:32
I knew neighbors that lived on the road
00:03:35
and I didn't think they were very far
00:03:37
away so I decided to walk it was a
00:03:43
decision Jean would come to regret it
00:03:45
was 25 degrees below zero with a wind
00:03:48
chill factor minus 70 even from
00:03:52
Minnesota it was extremely cold and Jean
00:03:54
was hardly dressed for the outdoors
00:03:56
she wore a thin sweater and parka jeans
00:03:59
and dressy cowboy boots
00:04:01
she had no hat not even a hood on her
00:04:04
parka I did feel the cold but I didn't
00:04:08
feel it was too cold to be in and the
00:04:13
cold didn't enter my mind as being
00:04:16
dangerous at all because I was used to
00:04:18
being out in the cold all my life
00:04:23
Jean trudged along unaware that every
00:04:26
second the cold was sapping precious
00:04:28
heat from her body bringing her closer
00:04:30
to a perilous state of hypothermia the
00:04:36
[Music]
00:04:38
cold was so debilitating it took Jean
00:04:41
more than an hour to walk a mile and a
00:04:43
half finally Jean caught sight of her
00:04:46
friend's house
00:04:51
I had walked and walked for so long and
00:04:55
I finally saw my friend's house and at
00:04:59
that point I was just so relieved there
00:05:02
it is I'm almost there and that's the
00:05:07
last thing I remember
00:05:22
the Sun rose on a clear bitterly cold
00:05:25
day jeans friend opened the door to a
00:05:28
horrible sight
00:05:31
[Music]
00:05:36
gene was literally frozen stiff her face
00:05:40
fixed in an icy white grimace at the
00:05:47
small local hospital the nursing staff
00:05:49
was stunned they'd seen hundreds of
00:05:52
frostbite cases but they'd never seen
00:05:54
anything like this she was so cold it
00:05:59
was like reaching into a freezer like am
00:06:02
i picking out a frozen stick of wood
00:06:04
that was so cold non bendable her face
00:06:10
was absolutely white
00:06:12
it was absolutely colorless just this
00:06:15
ashen death look she was severely
00:06:23
frostbitten none of her limbs would bend
00:06:25
or move and really things look very grim
00:06:29
I did hook her up to the monitor and we
00:06:31
got this agonal rhythm and like one beat
00:06:34
it was just like one and nothing so then
00:06:37
two we knew that we had something but
00:06:41
you know that's a death rhythm when a
00:06:49
person gets frostbite what we're
00:06:51
basically talking about is freezing of
00:06:53
the limbs that actually means ice
00:06:56
crystals forming in the cells and in so
00:06:58
doing they destroy many of the cells of
00:07:00
the body it's a lot like a burn with
00:07:04
tissue destruction after the hands and
00:07:08
feet maybe start the initial stages of
00:07:10
frostbite and the core temperature of
00:07:12
the body drops the heart the lungs the
00:07:15
internal organs of the abdomen the brain
00:07:17
when those start to cool that's referred
00:07:19
to as hypothermia and as they start to
00:07:22
cool it becomes more and more difficult
00:07:24
for them to perform their functions
00:07:26
until finally they stop
00:07:28
at that point the patient would more
00:07:31
than likely die the hospital staff
00:07:36
pulled out all its resources but Rosie
00:07:39
Eriksson a hospital office worker
00:07:41
worried it wouldn't be enough Rosie knew
00:07:44
what gene needed a miracle I called the
00:07:48
pastor of our church and I stated simply
00:07:50
that gene Hilliard from billing Bay Area
00:07:53
was brought into the hospital and a
00:07:55
frozen condition very critical and that
00:07:58
she needed prayer with the blessing of
00:08:05
the family the word went out the prayer
00:08:07
change started about 9:00 that morning
00:08:09
within 10 minutes more than 30 people
00:08:12
were praying for gene but would it work
00:08:15
could anything save Gene's life I
00:08:18
believe it probably was like 10 minutes
00:08:21
to 10:00 when one of the nurses came by
00:08:24
and yelled and Rosie we think gene is
00:08:27
going to make it and I looked up at the
00:08:29
clock and the still sins chills up my
00:08:32
arms and my spine to remember that I
00:08:36
looked and thought yes people are
00:08:38
praying now and God is answering prayer
00:08:42
it was more than anyone ever expected
00:08:45
less than two hours after the prayer
00:08:47
chain began gene had suddenly gone into
00:08:50
violent spasms though the danger was far
00:08:53
from over it was a good sign a sign of
00:08:56
returning life even so Gene's family was
00:09:02
told to expect the worst the doctors and
00:09:04
nurses worried that even if gene
00:09:06
regained consciousness she might be
00:09:08
seriously brain damaged
00:09:11
moreover the Frostbite was so severe
00:09:13
that amputating Gene's legs seemed
00:09:16
inevitable she just didn't look real it
00:09:24
was like this can't be and our number
00:09:26
mom and I didn't even say a word to each
00:09:29
other there was nothing we could say
00:09:31
that would describe it we just were I
00:09:35
guess shocked
00:09:40
gee
00:09:43
Jeannie Jeannie I'm sorry I've got to
00:09:46
ask you a couple questions I woke up in
00:09:50
the hospital
00:09:50
about noon very good things were working
00:09:56
kind of hazy and people were asking me
00:10:00
questions as to who I am and things like
00:10:03
that and I couldn't figure out why they
00:10:06
were talking to me that way or why they
00:10:08
were treating me that way and of course
00:10:10
I knew these people of course I knew who
00:10:12
I was I mean what's the big deal when
00:10:19
janey first came to and we knew that she
00:10:23
was going to live it was an extreme
00:10:26
relief but what was more miraculous to
00:10:30
me was her legs recovering every time we
00:10:34
lifted the sheet we could see the white
00:10:37
just moving down the black was
00:10:39
disappearing little by little and to me
00:10:43
I just I still think that was just
00:10:45
unbelievable it's just the fact that she
00:10:48
was alive was when everyone said that
00:10:51
she wasn't going to make it and it
00:10:52
wasn't it wasn't so much that that they
00:10:55
didn't have faith or they didn't believe
00:10:57
but it was just the severity of what had
00:10:59
happened James spent 49 days in the
00:11:04
hospital in defiance of everything her
00:11:07
doctors knew about frostbite she
00:11:09
recovered completely it was enough that
00:11:14
she survived it was that was a wonderful
00:11:16
enough thing but to have this added gain
00:11:21
of not losing any fingers or toes and in
00:11:23
fact just having what I guess would be
00:11:25
minor scares this is remarkable
00:11:29
[Music]
00:11:32
fifteen years later Jean still lives in
00:11:34
Minnesota and is a mother of three
00:11:36
children she credits her miraculous
00:11:39
escape from death not only to the
00:11:41
doctors and nurses who treated her but
00:11:43
also to the chain of friends and
00:11:45
neighbors who prayed for her
00:11:47
I just think without all those people
00:11:51
that I might not have survived there are
00:11:54
other people across the nation that same
00:11:56
night that were found in the same
00:11:59
condition I was in and they died I
00:12:03
really believed that it was the hand of
00:12:06
God that it was his way of responding to
00:12:10
everybody that was responding to me no
00:12:14
one is going to give up on me and I
00:12:16
guess maybe he responded to that too
00:12:19
[Music]
00:12:22
next a dead woman's diary reveals a
00:12:25
shocking campaign of sexual harassment
00:12:27
and a possible key to her murder
00:12:29
and later Elvis Presley was one so are
00:12:34
thousands of less notable people a
00:12:36
fascinating look at the phenomenon of

twin was twins

00:12:54
April 1989 Logan Airport Boston in the
00:13:00
airline industry 24-year old suit
00:13:02
tereska wits was something of a
00:13:04
trailblazer she had recently become only
00:13:07
the second woman hired by Northwest
00:13:09
Airlines as a ground services employee
00:13:11
on the ramp at Logan it was just the
00:13:17
kind of challenge Souter asked of its
00:13:19
thrive dog sue loved being on the rim
00:13:23
she liked doing the job sometimes she'd
00:13:25
come home and say I lift a million bags
00:13:27
today and they were 200 pounds each
00:13:30
she'd make a joke out of it but she
00:13:32
never came complaining about the job she
00:13:34
loved him Northwest Sioux had worked her
00:13:45
way up from cleaning the interiors of
00:13:47
jets to landing the new job three years
00:13:50
later in 1992 she was promoted to rap
00:13:53
supervisor the first woman ever to hold
00:13:56
that position
00:14:00
all right hey God
00:14:05
come around here to push this car out of
00:14:07
the way I see that I know it's not oil I
00:14:09
call you guys on the morning of
00:14:10
September 14th 1992 so tereska which his
00:14:14
car was discovered at an auto body shop
00:14:16
not far from the airport in the trunk
00:14:23
was Sue's body she had been bludgeoned
00:14:26
and then stabbed multiple times even
00:14:29
those who had been neither robbed or
00:14:31
sexually molested her family assumes she
00:14:33
had been targeted at random but who who
00:14:39
could have wanted suitor Eska wits dead
00:14:41
for more than a year Sue's family
00:14:43
grieved and pondered that disturbing
00:14:45
question then at Christmastime 1993
00:14:49
Marlene Trask was finally ventured into
00:14:52
her daughter's room for the first time
00:14:54
since the murder
00:14:58
I tried many times to go as soon as well
00:15:02
you know you just you've got to do this
00:15:05
it's a year you know you should let me
00:15:08
get something that was special to her
00:15:09
and we'll just put it out and I started
00:15:12
going into her closet and I saw her a
00:15:14
briefcase there inside the briefcase was
00:15:20
a diary and his contents were shocking
00:15:23
in wrenching detail sue had documented
00:15:26
accounts of sexual harassment she had
00:15:28
endured at Northwest ugly incidents sue
00:15:31
had never mentioned to her family the
00:15:35
journal included coats of graffiti
00:15:36
insulting demeaning and lurid that had
00:15:39
been etched in the men's rooms at the
00:15:41
airport and even in the cargo holes of
00:15:43
jets what I read the filth that somebody
00:15:51
would write about my Susan
00:15:53
[Music]
00:15:55
and I thought is this why she was
00:15:57
murdered
00:15:58
and we thought this is it we have solved
00:16:01
Susan's murder in numerous passages sue
00:16:05
described would appear to be blatant
00:16:07
acts of hostility typical was a
00:16:09
following entry April 12 1989 Bobby came
00:16:15
into the break room hey that's my radio
00:16:21
I'll buy you a new one what'd you do
00:16:23
that for the Bruins lost he left the
00:16:26
room and one of my co-workers picked up
00:16:28
the radio and plugged it in to see if it
00:16:30
still worked Bobby came back into the
00:16:36
room Sue's boyfriend at the time who
00:16:43
also worked at the airport spoke to
00:16:45
Bobby and demanded that he replaced the
00:16:47
radio sue confronted Bobby later that
00:16:50
day that was the radio that my mother
00:16:56
got me for Christmas what are you gonna
00:16:58
do send you in a punk boyfriend over
00:17:00
here again he's gonna beat me up
00:17:01
look at him kill him sue filed numerous
00:17:06
formal complaints with a management of
00:17:08
Northwest Airlines and her Union but
00:17:10
little was done to curb the harassment
00:17:13
in time the abuse escalated to Taurus of
00:17:16
anonymous graffiti all of the targeting
00:17:19
soon t it wasn't apparently just one or
00:17:25
two pieces of graffiti that made their
00:17:27
way up and then were washed away it was
00:17:31
repeated cases of graffiti of varying
00:17:37
kinds in some cases amounting to death
00:17:40
threats against other workers who were
00:17:43
supporting sue
00:17:47
asou also talks in her diary about
00:17:50
getting anonymous phone calls on all
00:17:53
hours of the night she record some of
00:17:54
the times the phone calls happen who's
00:17:56
there who is this
00:18:06
she also had instances where her car was
00:18:11
vandalized and her boyfriend's car was
00:18:14
vandalized friends who were supporting
00:18:17
her had their cars vandalized curiously
00:18:23
Sue's diary covered only her first eight
00:18:25
and a half months in her new job but
00:18:27
apparently the discrimination continued
00:18:30
thanks a lot
00:18:31
despite the abuse Sue's ambition didn't
00:18:34
flag in February 1992 she was promoted
00:18:38
to rap supervisor put in charge of the
00:18:40
employees she once worked with on a
00:18:42
tarmac ok well I'll take care of the
00:18:44
missing baggage but I need you to take
00:18:46
your crew initially sue had been passed
00:18:51
over for the promotion when a man and
00:18:53
her union had illegally bid for the job
00:18:55
sue filed a grievance and won becoming
00:18:58
the first female to hold the position
00:19:00
but the victory was not without his
00:19:02
detractors a lot of them felt that they
00:19:07
didn't want any females being their boss
00:19:09
that that should be a man's job it
00:19:12
didn't stop her from coming to work it
00:19:15
didn't stop her from standing up to
00:19:19
things that she thought was wrong some
00:19:23
men resent a woman I think in a position
00:19:26
of authority while there's others that
00:19:28
that like it and the deal with it but at
00:19:31
Northwest there was definitely the
00:19:33
element that had a problem with it I
00:19:36
think she was very conscientious about
00:19:39
her job she always tried to make it a
00:19:41
better place to work she really believed
00:19:43
that she could make a difference there
00:19:45
for minorities and women that work there
00:19:50
I'm good on th Jing spend something out
00:19:55
of my yeah right like between this and
00:19:57
my spaceship a few months after Sue's
00:20:00
promotion the graffiti became more
00:20:02
sinister it may have been the beginning
00:20:06
of the end
00:20:10
so you're gonna have to call somebody
00:20:12
yeah
00:20:18
sooo and I had a meeting at Northwest
00:20:22
that did not go well
00:20:23
during the meeting she started to cry
00:20:26
and she was crying so hard she really
00:20:30
couldn't control herself she cried into
00:20:32
the ladies room she was sobbing I was
00:20:44
concerned about the ongoing emotional
00:20:46
toll that it was taking on her she told
00:20:50
me that she was afraid she did not say
00:20:52
that she was afraid for her life but now
00:20:54
that I look back I take that possibly
00:20:56
she meant she was afraid for her life
00:21:05
[Music]
00:21:08
September 12 1992 during a graveyard
00:21:12
shift su volunteered to go to a
00:21:14
restaurant to pick up sandwiches for her
00:21:16
crew su tereska wits never returned no
00:21:20
one reported her missing for a day and a
00:21:22
half when we first found out that she
00:21:27
was murdered the very first question we
00:21:29
asked was did su ever do this before did
00:21:32
she ever leave work and not come back
00:21:34
and we were told never why did nobody
00:21:41
report her missing
00:21:42
is there a cover-up of some sort I'm not
00:21:45
sure
00:21:48
authorities now believe the sues death
00:21:50
may have been connected to a federal
00:21:52
investigation of Northwest that took
00:21:54
place in the summer of 1992 evidently
00:21:58
some baggage hammers at the Boston
00:22:00
facility had been operating a stolen
00:22:02
credit card ring when shipments of new
00:22:05
credit cars were transported on
00:22:06
Northwest Jets a group of workers were
00:22:09
stealing them using them and selling the
00:22:12
scam netted over seven million dollars
00:22:14
ten Northwest employees were eventually
00:22:17
indicted and given various sicknesses to
00:22:20
Marlene to rescue it's some of the names
00:22:22
were very familiar they would mean some
00:22:26
people that were in Sue's diary that had
00:22:29
sexually harassed her from day one I
00:22:32
believe that Susan was set up by her
00:22:37
co-workers that for whatever reason they
00:22:41
were afraid that Susan was gonna squeal
00:22:44
on something as far as the airport is
00:22:46
concerned a lot of people they're newer
00:22:49
a lot of people knew what was going on
00:22:51
around her we've talked to a lot of them
00:22:53
they've given us information but I think
00:22:55
we all believe that somebody there has
00:22:57
more Northwest Airlines declined our
00:23:02
request to be interviewed for this story
00:23:04
the authorities are currently
00:23:06
investigating more than one suspect but
00:23:08
lack the evidence to file charges in the
00:23:12
meantime the tereska us family continues
00:23:15
to seek justice and Sue's memory each
00:23:18
year on the anniversary of her death
00:23:19
they hold a candlelight vigil at the
00:23:22
site where her body was found
00:23:25
I feel that whoever murdered Susan or
00:23:29
whoever knows about her murder how much
00:23:32
longer can you go carrying this guilt
00:23:35
you're gonna have to find peace with
00:23:37
yourself and I'm asking after three
00:23:41
years bring peace to yourself bring
00:23:45
peace to us take this murderer off the
00:23:48
street Sue's family recently settle a
00:23:53
sexual discrimination lawsuit against
00:23:55
Northwest Airlines though the terms are
00:23:58
undisclosed it is known to be one of the
00:24:00
largest discrimination settlements ever
00:24:02
granted in Massachusetts next a young

[Music]
00:24:35
they had it on a loving marriage a
00:24:38
beautiful daughter dreams of a full rich
00:24:40
life dreams that would vanish in an
00:24:43
instant when Matt Flores age 26 was
00:24:46
gunned down in cold blood
00:24:48
one minute life was great we had
00:24:51
everything in the next minute I was
00:24:53
shattered a part of me died that day
00:24:57
that I'll never get back and I'll never
00:25:02
be the same person again I don't look at
00:25:04
things the same way and I I lost
00:25:08
everything that day when Matt and Denise
00:25:12
married in 1990 their friends called it
00:25:14
the wedding of the century Matt was a
00:25:17
second lieutenant in the Army who later
00:25:18
served with distinction in Operation
00:25:20
Desert Storm once Matt came home to Fort
00:25:23
Stewart in Georgia he and Denise started
00:25:26
a family in July of 1993 Danielle was
00:25:31
born eight months later Matt began a
00:25:34
promising career as an engineer had
00:25:36
applied materials incorporated a
00:25:38
computer company based in California's
00:25:40
Silicon Valley it was our new start in
00:25:45
life as a family us making decisions
00:25:47
instead of the military this was his
00:25:50
dream come true he'd finished with the
00:25:53
military he'd done everything right and
00:25:55
now he had landed the part the job of
00:25:57
his dreams
00:26:00
March 24th 1994 Matt's 9th day at his
00:26:04
new job that morning he was driving a
00:26:06
white Chevy Corsica which a company had
00:26:09
rented for him at Arad 8:12 a.m. Matt
00:26:12
arrived at work he parked in an
00:26:15
unassigned space in the middle of the
00:26:17
lot nearby another employee satlink to a
00:26:21
talk show on her car radio
00:26:36
[Music]
00:26:39
okay
00:26:46
oh my god the female witness realized
00:26:52
that he'd been shot and then ran to
00:26:54
another person for help and then also
00:26:57
ran to a shuttle bus to try and get
00:26:59
somebody to call 911 more help
00:27:03
approximately four or five uniformed
00:27:05
officers responded immediately including
00:27:07
a field supervisor paramedics and fire
00:27:10
also responded immediately but they were
00:27:14
not able to revive him and he was
00:27:15
pronounced dead at the scene
00:27:18
but Flores had been shot once in the
00:27:20
back of the head at point-blank range
00:27:22
that probably never saw his killer
00:27:25
and incredibly no one else did either
00:27:27
even though there were more than 20
00:27:29
people in the parking lot at the time
00:27:32
well they said that he was assassinated
00:27:34
basically I couldn't believe what I was
00:27:38
hearing
00:27:38
I kept thinking this is not happening
00:27:42
this is not happening
00:27:45
he was never involved in anything in
00:27:49
terms of drugs gambling fooling around
00:27:53
any of the things that you would think
00:27:54
would lead to being murdered nothing we
00:28:00
couldn't find anybody that didn't like
00:28:02
Matt and not only did they not not like
00:28:05
him everybody we met he was somebody
00:28:10
you'd be proud to have as a son or
00:28:12
brother he had no dark or secret side to
00:28:16
him this does not make sense
00:28:21
the investigation was hampered by a
00:28:23
terrible piece of bad luck despite the
00:28:26
presence of several security cameras
00:28:28
trained on the parking lot that killing
00:28:29
itself took place in a blind spot just
00:28:32
out of view however one of the cameras
00:28:35
did give the police their most
00:28:37
significant lead they have asked us not
00:28:39
to broadcast the tape what you are about
00:28:41
to see is a precise recreation of what
00:28:44
the tape reveals about 20 minutes before
00:28:49
the shooting
00:28:50
there was a two-door sport model Ford
00:28:52
Explorer that came into the parking lot
00:28:55
and parked in one of the parking stalls
00:28:58
facing directly into the video camera
00:29:00
lens a few seconds later a two-door
00:29:04
white Ford Probe came in the same Lane
00:29:08
that Matt would take later the Explorer
00:29:12
backed up followed the white probe the
00:29:15
Ford Probe could look something like
00:29:18
Matt's rental which was a white Chevy
00:29:22
Corsica about four minutes before the
00:29:28
shooting we see that same Explorer
00:29:30
exiting the parking lot and then about
00:29:33
three minutes before the shooting we see
00:29:35
the vehicle come back into the parking
00:29:37
lot and go in the direction of where the
00:29:40
shooting occurred at 8:12 a.m. two
00:29:45
minutes before the shooting two cars
00:29:47
enter the lot one is driven by the
00:29:50
female eyewitness the other by Matt
00:29:52
flurries at 8:14 the murder takes place
00:29:57
just out of camera range approximately
00:30:00
20 seconds later the Ford Explorer is
00:30:02
seen leaving the parking lot for the
00:30:04
last time by all accounts the Explorer
00:30:08
is a suspicious vehicle
00:30:10
I think if somebody were to watch the
00:30:12
videotape and see the activities of the
00:30:15
vehicle that morning and to see it leave
00:30:17
right after Matt was shot they certainly
00:30:19
could say that the vehicle was stalking
00:30:21
Matt that morning the cozy Explorer
00:30:26
initially followed a car that looked
00:30:28
like Metz
00:30:28
sergeant teal believes the murder may
00:30:30
have been a case of mistaken identity
00:30:33
perhaps somebody went to that parking
00:30:36
lot that morning to do harm to somebody
00:30:40
else and they got the wrong person
00:30:42
[Music]
00:30:46
whoever did this to him
00:30:48
I want them to know what they've taken
00:30:53
not only from Matt but what they've
00:30:56
taken from myself and Danielle and his
00:30:58
family I don't think she remembers
00:31:02
anymore
00:31:03
she was too little I plan on showing her
00:31:07
all the videos that we have so she knows
00:31:10
what kind of a daddy that she had been
00:31:13
at the same time she won't know what it
00:31:15
feels like for daddy to hug her a

Leon fletcher escaped before he could be

that I consider to be sociopaths
00:37:25
a person without a conscience Lee
00:37:28
Fletcher is one through our
00:37:32
investigation we have been told that he
00:37:35

next many researchers believe twins are
00:38:05
linked by a mysterious psychic bond but
00:38:08
what happens to that bond if one twin
00:38:10
dies consider the intriguing case of
00:38:13
Elvis Presley and his deceased twin
00:38:15
brother
00:38:16
[Music]
00:38:32
Elvis president the king of rock and
00:38:35
roll everyone knows a life story of the
00:38:38
shy teenager turned superstar but what
00:38:42
if Elvis had a twin imagine - Elvis is
00:38:46
performing on stage at the same time
00:38:48
it's not that far-fetched few people
00:38:52
know that Elvis Presley was haunted his
00:38:54
entire life by the specter of his dead
00:38:56
twin brother Jesse Garon
00:39:01
[Music]
00:39:06
Elvis was born in the shotgun Shack and
00:39:08
East Tupelo Mississippi records show
00:39:13
that his twin brothers birth preceded
00:39:15
his own by more than half an hour
00:39:17
tragically by the time Elvis was born
00:39:20
Jesse Garon Presley had already been
00:39:22
declared dead Jesse was buried in an
00:39:27
unmarked grave in this nearby cemetery
00:39:30
today many believe his death had
00:39:32
profound emotional consequences for
00:39:34
Elvis serving as a driving force behind
00:39:37
both his creative genius and his
00:39:39
self-destructive tendencies when Elvis
00:39:45
was a child five six years old he used
00:39:48
to tell me that he used to hear a voice
00:39:49
inside of his head and they used to
00:39:52
confuse him and he used to scare him a
00:39:54
little bit and he was afraid to mention
00:39:55
it to anyone he thought perhaps it was
00:39:59
his brother Jesse communicating to him
00:40:01
telling him what to do music was Elvis's
00:40:05
way of communicating with Jesse the two
00:40:08
had been bonded before they were born
00:40:10
intrauterine lis with the rhythm and the
00:40:13
voice of the fundamentalist Assembly of
00:40:15
God Church a very important cornerstone
00:40:18
for understanding Elvis dr. Peter witner
00:40:22
has devoted years to studying the
00:40:24
psychology of twins specifically those
00:40:26
who have been separated by death whether
00:40:28
in the womb or later as children and
00:40:31
adults the surviving twin is often
00:40:34
referred to as at winless twin many -
00:40:39
unless twins including Elvis tend to
00:40:41
become shall we say superstitious Elvis
00:40:46
would look to his twin for signs of
00:40:48
guidance for signs of strength
00:40:50
Elvis also felt that Jesse was his
00:40:53
compass was a sign of direction that
00:40:56
Elvis should in fact do great things
00:40:58
that had the two of them been united
00:41:01
they would have been able to do great
00:41:02
things
00:41:02
that they were separated Elvis alone had
00:41:06
to be the creator the perfectionist
00:41:11
when Elvis died there was almost nothing
00:41:13
known about the psychology of twin 'lest
00:41:15
twins in fact there are at least half a
00:41:18
million twin lists twins in the world
00:41:19
today they are united by a common yet
00:41:22
unexplained phenomenon the unshakeable
00:41:25
conviction of the spirit of the lost
00:41:27
twin lives on there's these little
00:41:31
happenings where you're really reminded
00:41:33
that your twin is not totally gone that
00:41:36
there's little occurrences that happen
00:41:38
where you just sense his presence not in
00:41:41
a physical way but nonetheless there I
00:41:44
do feel the presence of someone else in
00:41:46
my life I've again it's only been
00:41:50
recently that I've thought to put it in
00:41:51
that framework of the twin I've thought
00:41:54
of it more as a guardian angel or or a
00:41:57
spiritual presence dr. Raymond Brandt
00:42:03
coined the term twin was twin and his
00:42:05
founder of the twin was twin support
00:42:07
which has members nationwide twins are
00:42:11
unique because there's one thing that a
00:42:14
twin a multiple has that single birth
00:42:17
people do not and that's called utero
00:42:19
bonding of course today with ultrasounds
00:42:23
and studying behaviors in utero we
00:42:27
realize that they hug and what appears
00:42:30
to be kissing and even perhaps slugging
00:42:32
or pushing at each other we understand
00:42:35
and accept today that utero bonding
00:42:38
begins at the moment of conception
00:42:40
[Music]
00:42:43
consider the case of DN Seitz born as an
00:42:47
identical twin
00:42:48
Diann became twin --less when her sister
00:42:50
Shannon died just five hours after birth
00:42:54
she may have died 22 years ago but I can
00:42:57
feel her presence all the time
00:42:59
Shannon's my guardian angel she watches
00:43:01
over me you know she kind of makes her
00:43:04
nothing really bad happens to me or my
00:43:07
family
00:43:10
in 1994 Diane had perhaps her most
00:43:14
dramatic psychic experience with her
00:43:16
lost twin she believes her sister's
00:43:18
saved her life I was on my way to work
00:43:22
it was about nine o'clock in the morning
00:43:25
and I was going down the off-ramp and
00:43:28
this feeling came over me I could feel
00:43:33
Shannon's presents are really strong
00:43:35
next to me and then almost like her
00:43:39
presence came over me and had me pull
00:43:41
over to the right and then stop and then
00:43:44
not even five seconds later
00:43:51
shannon was telling me to pull over
00:43:54
before I got hit it wasn't as if she
00:43:59
said you know hello I'm here it was just
00:44:02
the feeling and the security of her
00:44:04
being around because my twin died in the
00:44:08
womb I lived and she died there's a
00:44:12
sense that I've carried with me forever
00:44:13
that somehow I took too much for example
00:44:17
I must have eaten all the food or you
00:44:19
know I was the one who lived and I
00:44:22
carried a deep sense of guilt about
00:44:24
being here that is the downside the
00:44:28
guilt many people believe it is guilt
00:44:31
that dries twin 'less twins to great
00:44:32
heights or to the depths of
00:44:34
self-destruction some say the root cause
00:44:38
of elvis presley's personal torment was
00:44:41
as grieving and feelings of
00:44:42
responsibility for his twin brother's
00:44:44
death
00:44:45
Larry Geller recalls a conversation
00:44:48
which took place a year before Elvis
00:44:50
passed away and I sat down with him he
00:44:53
said man I had a dream the other night I
00:44:56
can't get it out of my head I gotta tell
00:44:57
you there I was with my twin brother
00:45:01
Jesse he had the same hairstyle the
00:45:04
sideburns the same eyes one spotlight on
00:45:07
him one spotlight on me Larry the
00:45:13
strangest thing I started to feel guilty
00:45:16
I felt like like I did something wrong
00:45:19
and I don't know why it's the weirdest
00:45:21
feeling and I I said well maybe it's
00:45:25
kind of simple you lived and he didn't
00:45:31
Elvis never was able to resolve his
00:45:34
psychological on Stover the death of
00:45:37
Jesse it was something that was out of
00:45:39
the core of all of his behavior from my
00:45:42
perspective his substance abuse his self
00:45:45
abuse in general his working himself to
00:45:48
death was the desire to reunite with
00:45:50
Jesse
00:45:52
I remember one time we were talking and
00:45:55
he was telling me about his mother he
00:45:58
used to question her about his twin
00:46:01
brother Jessie Garon
00:46:02
and she said to him Elvis God took your
00:46:07
twin brother back home to heaven and
00:46:09
someday we'll all be together again and
00:46:13
Elvis said to me
00:46:15
Laurence I believe that we're all going
00:46:19
home someday I'm gonna be with my twin
00:46:21
